It was a sort of poison gas attack upon the minds of the masses, stunning their ability to think for themselves, in order that the capitalist governments could carry the masses more easily into the criminal adventure. The Pope of Rome and the Bishop of Canterbury teas are the main leaders of the “crusade” against the toil- And to whom is he playing this symphony? Not masses in the Soviet Union.

But this is nonsense. Imperialism is imperialism: it is robbery, rape, murder and spoilation of the colonial peoples. The rule of American imperialism in Latin America can not be made beneficial for both the United Fruit Company and the agricultural workers and peasants whom it exploits. The peoples of the Caribbean coun- tries desire neither good nor bad American rule. They want the Yankee imperialists to get the hell out of their countries. And they are perfectlaright. But the Church pacifist has a “mission” to perform. He has got to sugar-coat U. S. imperialist rule for the exploited masses of the colonies; and he has got to deceive the masses in the imperialist countries as to the real nature of imperialism. In the first instance, he helps break up colonial revolts, In, the second in- stance, he helps to mobilize the masses for imperialist war, by “softening” their opposition to imperialism.” The pacifism and anti-imperialism of the Church is a fake and a swindle. Church “Socialism” Is a War Measure. The Church is undertaking to fight real Socialism with fake Socialism. The Protestant Churches of the United States are showing how. The Pope is bringing up the rear. The Socialist Party of America is greet- ing the “conversion” of the Pope to Socialism, while the labor fakers feel strengthened in their ‘reacherous activities by the “moral” support of the Church. What is this so-called Church “socialism”? It is, first of all, an effort to hold the masses to the Church; the masses that are flocking away from the Church. The Church undertakes to dress itself up in false so- cialist plumage in order to stop the hungry, disillusioned and revolutionized masses from going over to the real Socialism, to the Socialism that is being built in the Soviet Union. But above all, this “conversion” of the Church to Socialism is a war measure. It is a measure to revive the Church crusade against the Soviet Union. The Church has found out that it can’t arouse the masses against the Soviet Union in the name of God and Capi- talism. Hence, it is trying to do the same trick in the name of—Socialism. The Church is trying to re- pair its damaged standing among the masses, and in so doing strengthen capitalism and the imperialist war preparations. Matthew Woll—arch-labor-faker, war monger, and interventionist—rubs his hands with satisfaction. Speak- ing about the latest Encyclical of the Pope, he said: “I endorse his views that neither capital nor labor has a - right to demand all the fruits of their collaborative labor.” Woll makes it especially sure that the share of the capitalists shall not be decreased. ‘The Socialist Party of America speaking through Waldman, says: “We welcome the Pope’s conversion to our doc- trine of Labor.” Thus we witness the harmony and unanimity be- tween the Church, labor fakers and Socialist Party in the work of deceiving the toiling masses, in the work of paving the way for imperialist war and military in- tervention in the Soviet Union.

Willis M, Brewer, former State Commander of the American Legion, embezzled $2,500 given by the County in 1929 supposed for the Ameri- can Legion, Children’s Billett at Otter Lake, of which he was “trustee.” He got a six year sen- tence, but if he pays $500 he can get out Jots sooner. Floyd B, Babcock, former postmaster for “our” government at Pontiac, pleaded guilty to “tak- ing” (so the paper puts it) $1,050 of County money which otherwise would have gone to the Oakland County Tuberculosis Sanitarium, of which he was business manager. He gets three and a half years, but can get out in less than six months by paying $100 within ninety days. Brewer and Babcock are not “foreign sound- ing names.” No, 100 percenters, They will not be Doaked. Biblical Arithmetic Now we know where Hoover got his “20 year plan.” The Saturday Evening Post, official or- gan of Trotzky and Eva Garrett Grady, gave us the general idea in trying to make fun of the Five Year Plan. But the bible didn’t say anything about the Five Year Plan at all, What it was talking about was Hoover's 20 year plan. You see, it was concerning Laban, who invented the 20 year plan before Hoover had stopped being a demo- crat. Laban, says the bible, was such a mean guy that when Jacob asked to marry Laban’s young- est daughter, Laban said: “If you like Rachel 1 have to work for me without wages for seven years.” Prosperity was coming back in sixty days, you see. So Jacob. not having read the Daily Worker, swallowed th m. ef Laban, and endured Seven years of forced labor. At the end of them, when he thought he was going to get Rachel’s shoes under his bed, darned if Laban didn't switch girls on him after turning out the light and gave Jacob the oldest and ugliest daughter he had, a gal named Leah. But Laban set up a “Wood Commission for Maintaining Employment,” so to speak, and bid Jacob be of good hope, because it was all and accident, and Jacob could work for no wages for another seven years and he sure would get the right girl at the finish, and some sheep and cattle besides. Jacob worked another sven years without wages and then six years more besides trying to argue Laban into giving him what he was promised. .. But at the end of the two times seven years plus six, that is to say, tweniy years,, Jacob realized he was stung and traipzed off the yanch without Rachel or any of the good cattle or sheep, and only a few goats and a wife whose face would stop a camel train. And that, brethern, is not near so bad as what will happen to you if you wait for Hoover's “20 year plan” of peace and prosperity to come true, And that, also, is proof that Hoover got his 0 year plan from tthe old skinflint, Laban. An European Wollfish Recently in Europe, so we are informed by the Friends of the Soviet Union, the whole capital- ist press published what a notorious priest, Father Muckermann, said about the awful Cheka (now the Gaypayoo) did to prisoners. According to this liar, the Gaypayoo placed rats on the prisoners’ bodies, covering these with earnthen- ware pots, which were then heated by fire. The rats, thus tormented by heat, had eaten thelr way out through the bodies of the hapless vic- tims of the Bolsheviks. Cornered with a demand to produce proof, Father Muckermann, an apostle of the One True Church, said he had been told this rat story by a big German capitalist named Arnold Rechberg, who is Fishizing Germany. Rechberg, cornered in turn, squirmed out of it by saying he had been told the rat story by an agent of the Brit- ish “intelligence” service. Meanwhile, somebody discovered where the rat story came from. It seems that a literary journal in Paris, called “Les Nouvelles Lit- teraires,” on January 3, 1931, published a review of a book on the atrocities of the Spanish (Cath- olic) Inquisition of the year 1588, from which the following juicy recipe for Catholics to make heretics uncomfortable, is taken: he they must be laid on a table, a basin in- verted on their belly and rats placed beneath it, Fire must be made on the basin, so that the rats are forced by the heat to eat their (the heretics’) entrails.” So, you see that Father Muckermann had to borrow from the history of his own church to get material for the “holy crusade” against the Soviet Union. Council (and Other) Bluffs “Perhaps God has brought these times to us to bring us all back to sane and good proper conduct and living,” observes the Christian Home Orphanage, in a circular letter from Council Bluffs asking for money to keep the dump going. Now, a part of the “us” whom God is, accorde ing to these Christian hypocrites, is mentioned in the opening of the letter. There it is said: “The Governmental Board of Child Weare estimates that there are Ten Million neglected children at this time in this country.” So God is taking it out on the kids, to the Christians. But we prefer to lay the blame to capitalism. eo 8 6 The One Guy Who Eats We have only to repeat the following Asso- ciated Press dispatch, to cause millions to chuckle: “Saratoga Springs, June 30—The collapse yesterday of Homer Folks, secretary of the State Charities Association, was due to food poisoning, which affected his heart, his physi- cian said last night.” common enem7 cher-ete: his wriicn || intellectuals, ete, who are either unable or un- | ment by taking the advice of the Daily Worker After denying food to most of the unemployed in Poland on this question, but mue’y is | | Willing to be active members; whether the Par- | and builfing Daily Worker Qbubs, or becoming ORF. sve +» State . | and poisoning the res’ with “charity” slop, what by the Mellons | | whispered concerning ‘various possibilities’ ana|| ‘Y shall be a disciplined centralized body of | active in relief or defense ‘work in one of the this guy stuffed himself wiih must have been i Te i Ba | | | that the time will come when they can be put | Be ala or a loose group of sympathizers Pe oiiary organizations where the require- | OCCUPAMOD , ....ceeeeseeee ccc e eee ABE cece ee pretty poison to “affect his heart.” We have Pitisburgh the capitabst press soft-pedals xecution.” an rals.
